What goes into a flashing job in Paradise Heights
Before you approve flashing work in Paradise Heights, these points are worth knowing.
Who handles which layer at the chimney
Chimney flashing sits between two trades. The roofer owns the roof covering and often the base and step pieces woven into it. The chimney side owns the masonry, the mortar joints that hold counter flashing and everything above the roofline.
Leaks often live in the gap between those two responsibilities. When both trades are involved, we write down which layer each one handles, in what order, and who seals the final laps. Clear boundaries keep your repair from ending up as two partial fixes with one open seam between them.
Downspouts that empty beside the chimney
An upper-roof downspout that empties onto the roof near a chimney sends a concentrated stream across one flashing face. Even well-made flashing can be overwhelmed when a whole roof section drains onto it.
We look at where upper downspouts discharge and whether that water crosses the chimney junction. Sometimes extending or redirecting the downspout matters as much as the flashing itself. We point it out and leave the gutter work to you or your gutter contractor unless we agree otherwise.
When a roof valley runs into the chimney
A chimney placed where two slopes meet in a valley takes water from both directions. The valley metal and the chimney flashing have to overlap in a specific order, and that joint is one of the trickiest on any roof.
We check how the valley ends at the chimney and whether its water is carried past the flashing or under it. This detail may involve both trades, so we write down which part we handle and leave no gap between the two scopes.
Stepped counter flashing along a sloping side
Mortar joints run level, but the roof beside the chimney slopes. Counter flashing on the sides is therefore cut in steps, each piece set into a different joint and trimmed at an angle to follow the roof line.
Each step must overlap the next one and cover the step flashing below it. Gaps between steps are a frequent source of leaks on older chimneys. We cut and fit every step to its joint and check the overlaps from top to bottom.

Chimney flashing questions from Paradise Heights
Still deciding? These answers help, and the inspection in Paradise Heights is free.
Does my chimney need a cricket?
The Florida Building Code, Residential, calls for a cricket on the ridge side of a chimney more than 30 inches wide. We measure your chimney and tell you whether the rule applies. Cricket work is quoted on its own line.
Could our downspout be part of the problem?
It can. When an upper roof drains onto the roof beside the chimney, one flashing face takes the whole stream, and even good flashing can be overwhelmed. We check where upper downspouts empty. Moving or extending one is gutter work, which we point out and leave to you or your gutter contractor unless we agree otherwise.
